Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) cv. Rohini was grown under three levels of urea nitrogen fertilization [0, 2, and 4 g(N) pot-1]. Carbonic anhydrase activity and net photosynthetic rate in leaves of 50 d-old plants as well as yield attributes at harvest increased with increasing levels of nitrogen. Stomatal conductance was not affected, and oil content decreased.

Additional key words: Brassica juncea; oil content of seeds; seed mass and number; urea; yield attributes
